Hi, I'm Christina...I'm 25 and due on July 8, 2008 with my first child. I have been wanting to have a child for as long as I can remember, but the timing was never right for us. On October 5, 2007, My husband and I finally decided it was right and we were going to start trying. A month later I tested positive! The doctor says by the size of the baby, we conceived on October 1st. Well that's impossible because we didn't start trying until the 5th so it must have been the very first try!! It was meant to be! Everything feels so right, and I could not imagine being any happier. We can not wait to welcome our new little one into our family.

Jan 23, 2007 - Well, I think the morning sickness has finally gone away. I still get sick sometimes when I'm brushing my teeth, but not in the middle of the day or at odd times anymore. I've felt the baby moving around a few times in the past couple of weeks, but I can't wait to feel a kick and be able to have my husband feel it too. I have a Dr.'s appointment on Friday (the 25th) and that's when he will be scheduling my anatomy ultrasound. I'm hoping it's like next week! But chances are it will be a little longer after that because I am only 16 weeks and I hear it's better results when you do it around 20 weeks. I want to know what it is sooooo bad so I can start shopping! I go through the baby section at every store we go to and pick out things that I would want to buy him-her, but we never end up getting anything because we just don't know yet. I have about 5 outfits picked out if it's a girl and a couple for a boy too. Just waiting for the Doc's word. I love shopping for babies, they are so much fun. I know as soon as we find out what it is I will be shopping for like a week straight! LOL

Jan 25 - I just got back from my Dr.s appointment. Doc says baby is doing great. I am measuring 22 cm and that means it's a healthy big baby. Heartbeat was at 153bpm and he scheduled me for my anatomy ultrasound in 2 weeks on Feb 7th!! i'm so excited, I can't wait to find out what our little one is!!!

Feb 20 - We had our 20 wk ultrasound today and found out we will be having a BABY GIRL! She is a healthy 11 ounces and heartbeat was at 155bpm. We are so happy to be welcoming Isabella Marianne into our home!!

Mar 12 - This morning I was laying in bed on my back and I felt my baby moving so I put my hand on my belly. I felt my baby girl moving around in there from the outside! I think she was doing flips in there it was the coolest thing. I have been feeling her from the inside for quite a while now, but this morning was the first time I was able to feel her with my hand. Needless to say, I was 30 minutes late to work because I couldn't bring myself to stop playing with her and get up for work! LOL
